Charlie Countryman stars LaBeouf as an American living in Romania who falls in love with a woman (Evan Rachel Wood) with ties to a violent gangster, played by Hannibal and Casino Royale villain Mads Mikkelsen.

The film also stars Rupert Grint and Oscar-winner Melissa Leo, while John Hurt narrates.

LaBeouf previously claimed to have taken LSD in preparation for Charlie Countryman.
